It is true with Indian Subcontinent as well. But at the same time it is a foreign language for the people of Indian sub-continent. It is so because it was brought and imposed on them by their colonizer during colonial days but later on it was embraced empathetically by the people of Indian sub-continent (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & other countries). In the British period it enjoyed a royal place but after independence drastic changes took place regarding the place of English in India. Since it was the language of the rulers who exercised atrocities over colonized people so English was dethroned from its exalted position. Though English did not have the same place but still it is an important language in India.

The ache of being a woman is one of those things. This ache originates from being relegated to a marginalized position in life and society. This is the reason that when literature by women is read, a distinguishing color of feminism is found to have colored them all. The Pakistani Bride by Bapsi Sidhwa is remarkable novel in this aspect because she has tried to sketch and expose how women belonging to different culture suffer the pangs of a secondary citizen, how menfolk are the deciding masters of their life and how the gap will always be there in spite of being their educated and liberated. This paper will analyses the novel from feminist perspective but focusing only on the similar lot of different women.

According to this theory, it can be claimed that this novel is polyphonic (i.e., multi-voiced). Morrison's own voice has not come in the novel between reader and the story as her point of view is absent from the novel. Instead, many other stories are reverberating with too much human life as the novel is divided into four parts with each part divided into subparts. Each of these subparts has a character to say it.

Abstract Language is the most remarkable tool that man has ever invented so far. Language is the mosteffective means of communication that enables us to express our ideas, views and emotionsempathetically. Although one can communicate without using a language through the process of kinesics to some extent, but the use of language becomes imperative for the expression of fineideas. It is the language that distinguishes man from the other species of nature and makes him thebest creation of God. Thus, man has a genuine need of linguistic communication. It is an importantaid for the socialization for it fosters enmity and brotherhood round the globe. The current paperexamines English language by some women writers.

With the increase in the number of people gaining expertise in the language, novel writing too has attained a remarkable growth. There is a surge of English authors, both men and women, involved in writing novels on multiple themes. Post modernism had gifted authors with a variety of themes to deal upon. With the evaporation of boundary between different genres of art, there is an intermingling of disciplines and themes.

This paper studies the same rights that have come to lay a safe and secure life for women.

Theoretically the status of women in Islam seems to resemble the difference feminism of America.

But since a very long time the process and effect of ageing has been speculated and written about by literary writers also. They have in fact tried to broaden the whole perspective by which ageing is really seen. Ageing has been associated with adversities. Having known about the problems of people growing old through the studies of social scientists these writers have endeavored to touch the healing points because literature encompasses the the mode of diagnosis and soothing both under its wings. Moreover it is not only the travails that literature has pointed out and tried to eliminate. The bright, positive side of growing old shown by them. The great poet Robert Browning said, “Grow old with me, the best is yet to be.”
Literature is the mirror of society. Litterateurs pen down only what they see and feel the unseen in their surrounding world. Literature never exists for its own purpose. It is deeply rooted in the conditions and circumstances of the contemporary society and people of that society. Similarly, ageing and its aspects have also been portrayed by writers in their own specific ways. Literary writers depict the memories, experiences and feelings gained through years. These experiences and feelings are an amalgamation of triumphs and traumas that this age collects in the phenomenon of growing old.

Its genesis lay in the realization that sexism existed in the Black Liberation Movement and racism in the Women’s Movement and it was formed to fight the interrelated effects of race, gender and class on black women. Black Women have a history whose effects compelled them to form a Movement of their own. Race and class constitute very important aspects of human life. In case of women, it is not only their sex that determines their position (primary or secondary) and status in society but also their class and race. Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards inform that the editors of The Readers Companion to US Women’s History lists seventeen major types of feminisms based on identity. Black Feminism is one of them.

It consists of the ambitious story of Victory Frankenstein. He has the urge to know what gives human being their ‘life spark.’ In his college at Ingolstadt, he creates his own human and succeeds in giving him the life spark. Frankenstein can be viewed as the differentiation between the ‘good science’ and the ‘bad science.’ It shows the dire consequences of science that sees itself as a master. Through this paper I want to show the uniqueness of science fiction and at the same time we want to show its importance also as it is not so popular like the other genres in the English Literature.
